“Under Greg Rucka and JH Williams, Batwoman is shown to be a character who was denied her chance at putting her drive and desire for justice to work in a conventional way (in her case, by joining the Marine Corps), but was inspired to become a super-hero instead, adhering to Batman’s code (as she says in “Detective” #857, “I’m always on the Batman rule, sir”) as closely as she did the Military Code of Justice. It’s the literalization of the idea that Batman exists to keep people from becoming victims, and in the process, he turns them into heroes.”
